This was suggested to me a while ago as I was searching for some different ideas for hot breakfasts. My kids love pancakes but I have started to dread pancake day. I don't always want to take the time to make them.
BakeCakes
The recipe:Preheat Oven to 400
2 1/2 cups of flour~ whole wheat, oat flour, oatmeal, spelt, cornmeal, etc. or blend!
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sweetener ~ honey, sugar, maple syrup etc.
2 tsp spices ~ pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg (just a tiny bit), imagination, etc.
- Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Generously butter/grease a cooky sheet.
- In a separate bowl beat together:
1 1/2 cups kefir, buttermilk or other soured milk product
1 egg
1/2 cup of applesauce
1 cup of pumpkin puree (or more applesauce instead)
1/2 cup melted fat ~ butter, coconut oil etc.
- Mix into the dry ingredients until just moistened.
- Soak this overnight in the refrigerator first or go ahead and:
- Pour into greased cookie sheet
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.
- Or come to our house on Saturday mornings. It's usually bakecakes or waffles!
To feed 8 big eaters I double this recipe.
Is this the same texture as a cake? Or the sweetness? Perfect kind of food for our big crew. Do you put syrup on it?
ReplyDeleteHi Jeri. Maybe, a lighter sort of pancake, yes, kind of cakey. I've been making a real big effort to drop some sugar so I've been insisting on applesauce instead of syrup, but syrup is yummy. The bake cakes are not very sweet.
